Finding a great lunch spot in the old town of Munich is not so easy. As much as I love the traditional Bavarian restaurants in Munich, most of them are way too touristic nowadays. But we’re quite far from traditional German food today, so let’s head to the Orient – the great The Spice Bazaar on Square Marstallplatz.

Restaurants in Munich
The Spice Bazaar

Heavy wooden tables, golden lamps and colorful walls. The open space of The Spice Bazaar reminds me of some chic restaurants in New York. I’m absolutely in love with the design itself. However, I wouldn’t think of an oriental restaurant when coming here. Nevertheless, the concept says oriental, Mediterranean with a twist of traditional interpretation of food. One thing is sure: the restaurant enriches Munich’s gastronomy!

Drinks & Food

One of my friends suggested the restaurant for lunch, so we combined it with a little business meeting. Speaking of which, The Spice Bazaar offers a light and uncomplicated business lunch each day. On the menu, you’ll find a  variation of oriental salads, either vegetarian (10,50€) or with fish and meat (15,50€). Moreover, you’ll find a daily changing soup (7,50€) or manti filled with a potato-chard filling (12,50€). I went for a salad variation of three with eggplants, lentils and beans, which was very good. The manti were a little bit too salty but I still recommend them.
Good thing here is also that they only serve organic meat and eggs. If you’re more interested about where their products come from, you’ll find the information on the menu.

• Brunch recommendation: The Spice Bazaar offers a great weekend brunch – nutty fattoush, Bazaar roastbeef, oriental graved salmon, shakshuka, hamshuka and more. Sounds super delicious, right? I’ll have to try that next time.

RÉsumÉ

The Spice Bazaar is a great choice for a relaxing dinner. Keep in mind that the restaurant is always super packed in the evening. Therefore, I highly recommend to book a table in advance. If fancying only a drink at the bar, I can tell that their orientalic-style choice of cocktails also sounded inviting. I’ll definitely come back here for dinner and drinks!

I wish you a wonderful day!
